EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "December" we are transported back in time to the late 16th century. Created by renowned artists Adriaen Collaert, Hans Bol, and Hans van Luyck between 1578 and 1582, this piece showcases a fascinating blend of labours, zodiacal symbolism, and scenic winter landscapes. At the center of the composition lies a round table where various scenes associated with December unfold. The focus is on the slaughter of animals such as oxen and pigs – an essential task during this month for curing and brining meat for the cold winter months ahead. A slaughterhouse stands prominently in the background, reminding us of the importance placed on preserving food during that era. Above these scenes hovers Capricorn, one of the constellations representing December in astrology. Its presence adds a celestial touch to this earthly depiction while emphasizing its connection to nature's cycles. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element from smoked and salted meats brought indoors to picturesque winter landscapes contributes to creating an immersive experience for viewers. This particular print from Quint Lox's collection offers us a glimpse into historical traditions surrounding December festivities while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship by Collaert, Bol, and Van Luyck. It serves as a testament not only to their artistic prowess but also their ability to capture everyday life with exquisite precision.
